What is Canada World anyway? Is it a theme park where you chop trees for prizes, ride the Angry Moose roller coaster and get your picture taken with your face through a hole to make you look like a Mountie? It must be pretty big if it has multiple countries in it! Dad, can I go please please pleeeeeeease?

I'd explain to you where the irony exists but I can already tell that this conversation isn't going to go anywhere so I leave you with this.

There still isn't any irony. Are you sure that you know what irony is, or do you not understand the modern(ish) history of Poland very well?
